Enderun Boys mathletes divide and conquer in AMESA Olympiad

Three Enderun boys had the winning formula as they solved their way through the first round of the AMESA Mathematics Olympiad.

POLOKWANE – The Enderun Boys College Mathematics team, known as the Mathletes or Prime Minds, has brought pride to the school by participating in the first round of the Association of Mathematics Education in South Africa (Amesa) Mathematics Olympiad on March 11.

A total of 28 learners from Gr 4-9 represented the school, carefully selected for their maths thinking and academic excellence.

The Olympiad was conducted under formal examination conditions in the school hall, with deputy principal Georgina Jongoni and maths teachers Mateta Gloria and Conrade Nyandoro invigilating the session.

All learners approached the paper with focus and determination, demonstrating the strength of Enderun Boys College’s mathematics programme.

From the 10 districts in Limpopo, only the top 5% of learners per school advance to the next round.

Enderun Boys College proudly secured this achievement, with three learners progressing: Arif Kemal Senamela Phaahle (Gr 7), Phetolo Ibrahim Mphago (Gr 8) and Tumisho Rajab Letsoalo (Gr 7).

These learners will represent the school in the next stage of the Amesa Mathematics Olympiad, carrying Enderun Boys College’s legacy of excellence.

Hasan Abdullah, Director of Enderun Colleges and regional United Private Schools Association (UPSA) branch, congratulated all participants and praised the advancing learners.

“Your success reflects the school’s commitment to nurturing minds that think boldly, solve critically and lead confidently,” Abdullah said.

My name is Anne Mametja. I am a mom of four and an identical twin. With a passion for media, I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Media and Television Production in 2012 and due to my love for children, I also hold a certificate in Nursing Auxiliary. As media is my first love, I started working at the Polokwane Review as a journalist in 2017 and it has been amazing thus far. I love journalism because I can be a voice to the community through my work. Journalism allows me to meet different people at the events I attend. Although there are certain beats that journalists stick to, being an all-rounder means I write community, schools, sports, hard, lifestyle and entertainment news. It also allows me to be versatile in the newsroom and assist where I can. ‘Journalism can never be silent, that is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault.’
